Writer-producer Jonathan Nolan discusses the creative freedom and challenges of adapting the open-ended Fallout video games for television. The series, co-created with Lisa Joy, will debut on Prime Video on April 11.
LOS ANGELES – In adapting the popular Fallout video games for television, writer-producer Jonathan Nolan had a lot of creative freedom .
But unlike Westworld, which was based on a 1973 science-fiction western film about a theme park populated by androids, the Fallout games are open-ended. “Which means a rigorous adaptation is sort of impossible. If you play the game, you might play it as a good guy who joins this faction; I might play it as a bad guy who joins a different faction.
And while they had plenty of leeway with the storytelling, the couple tried to capture the aesthetic of the games as best they could. For inspiration, the creators looked to all seven Fallout games, which were released from 1997 to 2018.
